today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—

oh look, it's not just the sailors in the USS Abraham Lincoln who are being treated like shit.

"NEW: Family members confirm to me that the problems service members are facing on air craft carriers are not limited to the USS Lincoln. Those on the USS Bush told family members that they had 'virtually no food, water or soap.'"

Fuck this shit today jeff. I mean really, just fuck it. I am goddamned tired of writing about all this negative shit.

Six months into a war, and the man in charge describes his foreign policy as "low-keying it" and "only semi-negotiating." Semi. Like a guy ducking a dinner invitation, except the RSVP is a strait full of damaged ships. He called off strikes in May, then June, then August. Fifty-plus vessels damaged. His own Joint Chiefs chairman is reportedly begging for an off-ramp. And this rancid landlord's response? "I think we will keep it." Keep it. It's not a lease, you absolute clown. It's a waterway.

Pissdrunk Pete, you will always do

Your best to push the "warfighter" view

But your gaslighting and lying

While people are suffering and dying

Makes me trust Iran more than you

wisewebwoman's avatar

This is the irony. We are all rooting for Iran. We want this filthy felon to be hung out and dried.

Jean Jacoby's avatar

I'm surprised Donnie hasn't blamed Dark Brandon for Iran refusing to do business with him. There must be a conspiracy about that somewhere in the recesses of the dark web that is about to surface on FOX. On the other hand, Iran probably heard how Trump always stiffs his contractors, so there is that.

It's shocking to me that the entire press corps does not rise up to point directly at this POTUS and say he is UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT. Then I remember that almost all of the MSM is now owned by the oligarchs and their RW servants.

Both my YA kid and my 90-year-old MIL are losing sleep at night because they are not convinced we can eek out a win this November to take control of one or both chambers of Congress, as well as at the state level of government. The Future Is Unwritten is not a cozy blanket of hope.

I'm also very pissed off that President Biden and Dr. Fauci are being tortured by this regime and their supporters in the press, the Congress, and elsewhere. I would not be surprised if this regime tortures other prominent Democrats on Trump's behalf in the coming days. C'mon clots and stairs!

And I want to believe that voting is so important a power that they are going to do everything they can to take it away. We've got the power! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm6DO_7px1I

Upvoting for “clots and stairs.” ISWYDT 😂

rlritt's avatar

I would be worried because I just read that Trump's demand for voter rolls were followed by quite a few red state most notably Texas and Alaska. Apparently 100s of thousands of voters were found ineligble. I'm sure they were Democrats.

One text I saw from a sailor said he had lost 30 lbs since the deployment began... Our service members are being starved! I can drive down to the local grocery and buy ultra long shelf-life milk. It lasts for months on the pantry shelf. The problem is the Orange Idiot and his Drunk fired all the Generals and Admirals who knew how to do things!

HI2thDoc's avatar

Retired two-star admiral Eileen Laubacher, running against Boebert, retired commander Elaine Luria, running for VA-2, and retired Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore, who was fired by Hegseth for being a woman and is running for SC-1 (Mace's old seat, so I hope Adm. Lacore has disinfectant) should all make this Abe Lincoln debacle front and center since they are all Naval veterans.

Kay-El's avatar

I suspect that because the fucking idiots in charge quite mistakenly thought this war that isn’t a war was going to be over in a few days or weeks that no idiots in charge planned accordingly.

Cathy Rady's avatar

and they fired everyone who was capable of planning accordingly

Cassandrascat's avatar

How they're treating military is torture. And, of course, victims of torture tend to be compliant in order to make the pain stop. No one would argue that the self-styled head warfighting warfighter is competent, because he isn't. But is he following a diabolical directive or not getting fired, because someone smarter than trump is pulling the strings? I know that sounds a bit tin-foil hattish, but, as usual, you can't make this shit up.

DeBurgh's avatar

Its all stupid mismanagement and Bad Faith. The Trump Party is lousy at managing the government. And the "War" Department is a complete disgrace. But notice how well the Trump Family and their "loyal" enablers are sucking billions from their offices of public trust. From the clowny cabinet to the Trumpers in Congress to the Trumpers on the Supreme Court. The government is working just fine for all of them.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

The Republicans are pulling off a winner-take-all Oligarchic Coup. None of the deployed troops are fighting for "our freedoms" or "defending their country." They're just pawns in a maniac's twisted dream, manacled to loyalty and obedience.

DeBurgh's avatar

Agreed. But they aren't "Republicans" anymore. The GOP is dead. It is the Trump Party now. We must stop giving the Trumpers any respect or legitimacy. The Trump Party has one goal: to help the Trump Family steal money from us. And the Trumpers in Congress are well paid by the Family. They all sold their honor and duty to their constituents for money. Look past the distractions and diversions. This admin is all about using the offices of trust to grab tens of billions for themselves from all sources. See Browder. See the Magnitsky Act. Putin made stealing from his own citizens a high art. Donald is envious and is doing the same here.

This will result in major recruitment problems. Best military in the world, my ass. Well done, immoral, lying, incompetent fuck face Hegseth

Ann Anderson's avatar

I despise these fucking MAGA creeps with every fucking cell in my fucking body. Is that enough fucks for one morning? No. Fuck those fucking fucks. I fucking hate them and I will not forgive them. We're in the Golden Age of Grifting and I am ashamed of my country. I'm especially ashamed of the way Joe Biden was treated. He did an excellent job and the MAGA fucks did nothing but dump on him. Don't even get me started on the way our military is being mistreatead.

Katie Beyrer's avatar

BRAVO ANN, BRAVO 👏 you took the words right out of my mouth 👏 jfc 👏

Ann Anderson's avatar

Looks like I hit a motherlode of frustration this morning.

rlritt's avatar

Just to make you more angry.

John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Instead, the center's board voted to close the building for a two-year, $257 million renovation project and add an inscription crediting Trump with the restoration. What a fucking stupid baby.

Tracey's avatar

Completely agree!

HI2thDoc's avatar

I dread what Joe Biden is going through, the tremendous pain of metastatic bone cancer. I dread losing this good man. But I also dread the insensitive, stupid, and downright cruel shit that the MAGAs will vomit out when Joe passes. They are the absolute worst.

Joyce's avatar

All of the fuckers who wailed and rent their garments over Chuckie Kirk and threatened anyone who didn't actually much care that he'd left the planet will be out in force to be disgusting about Biden (I've already read a number of comments on Bluesky from posters who believe Biden should suffer because "he committed genocide")......

I do hope that Dr. Biden makes a public point that Donnie Demento and the rest of his fucked up crew are NOT INVITED>

HI2thDoc's avatar

I'm sure they will not be. Whether or not Dr. Jill makes the disinvite public is questionable. She has more class in her pinky than that whole fucking crime family put together.

Joyce's avatar

She just needs to take a page from the McCain playbook.

Angie Longenecker's avatar

Absolutely! It would be a total disgrace to have anyone from this regime present.

michellefromchicago's avatar

I don’t know what Joe’s timeline is at this point, but I desperately want him to outlive Donald Trump!

Mary Greenwald's avatar

Yes - especially since Trumpty Dumpty will be in charge of his State Funeral. I can see the big Orange Grin and Thumbs Up photos now!

Dollars to donuts trump does squat other than some moronic post on his app.

Sadly, he's treating it with the same grace and tact as in his responses to the deaths of Robert Mueller and Rob Reiner.

"Fucksnoot" I'll add this excellent noun to my lexicon. 😂😂

I didn't think it was possible to despise the felon anymore but he just couldnt keep his rancid mouth shut about Joe Biden. "I dont feel sorry for him".

Fuck you Trump. I hope your death is a thousand times more painful.

There. I said it.

And I hate that I've become so hateful but Trump is the epitome of evil.

Claudias smile just lights up the room! A beautiful way to end the week.

What she said! (Susan, that is!!)

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

We can't expect anything but the worst from Nepo Nero as he reaches the end of his ugly history and "becomes a god." The more delusional and closer to death he gets, the more his worst qualities are amplifying. He has done nothing honorable in his entire life to merit having his name inscribed on every landmark, including getting a grotesque Triumphal Arch built to overshadow a national cemetery of true heroes.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Every word you said. 👏👏👏👏👏

Can he please just die today???

Jennifer's avatar

There are no Karl Marx: I Did That stickers because none of these numbnuts knows who Marx is. Or what Communism is. Or socialism, for that matter.

Hell, they don't know what ANYTHING is.

And those poor sailers. God, I hate this regime. HATE.

Trump would order the Abraham Lincoln sunk if he felt the stories from the crew would sink him.

Natalia Lincoln's avatar

Then blame it on Ayatollah Biden.

J Hardy Carroll's avatar

Joe Biden inherited a flaming shithouse. A million Americans sick and dying, a broken economy, no policy whatever for moving forward, and then a massive insurrection of assholes beating cops with Trump flags on live TV before breaking into the Capitol and shitting on desks. When Trump grudgingly left office with all the boxes of secret files to sulk in his shabby gilded age golf resort, it was like we'd been listening to a jackhammer outside the building suddenly stopping. Biden quietly went about trying to repair what he could, and kept the economy from dropping into a massive recession. Was he perfect? Not at all... Joe was always a company man, and he'd been in politics long enough to know you don't piss off the guys who sign million-dollar checks. But what he didn't realize is how rapaciously greedy these inhuman billionaires had become under the four years of Trump. The racism and hatred they could spew with impunity, dismissing any call to civility as "woke." This would not have mattered so much except the MSM monopoly that dominate all social media channels fell into lockstep in shitting on Biden, shifting the blame for what Trump did onto his shoulders. He was still playing chess, not realizing his opponent was playing Monopoly.

Trump took a lesson from his time. Only hire loyalists, and get Susie to keep them in line. never bend ever on anything, and keep flooding the zone with shit (thanks AI). His decline is so severe that he is prey for the awful people who surround him, especially the mommy/daughter combo of Susie and Natalie. Everybody else is on their own. The biggest lesson is to steal as much as humanly possible. Turns out that's a lot.

He is worse than the Confederacy when it comes to damage, because the CSA was a local issue. This shit is global.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Bravo -- but let's give due credit to the SCOTUS for deciding Citizens United in 2010 and thus giving carte blanche to the billionaires, mega-multimillionaires, and corporations to meddle in politics to their shriveled little hearts' content.

Lisa Bieber's avatar

Most corrupt SCOTUS ever. Thanks for the reminder.

J Hardy Carroll's avatar

The Roberts court ushered this in. Remember that Roberts was instrumental in handing the 2000 election to W in 2000, and his quid pro quo was an opportunity to bring back the 1880s (diseases and all)

2Cats2Furious's avatar

And don’t forget that the SCOTUS6 also gave Trump immunity from criminal acts committed while presidenting.

J Hardy Carroll's avatar

Roberts has been singularly destructive. The Citizens United was the Dred Scott decision of the modern era.

rlritt's avatar

That was the worst crime ever committed. The should make a new amendment to cap the amount of all money available for political campaigns.

"has everything we can provide them" - which ain't much, 'cuz we're not trying very hard.

Plausible deniability language, that. As believable as “Your call is very important to us.”

Frosty McGillicuddy's avatar

They like to blame our man Joe Biden

'Cause Drumpf is decrepit and hidin'

These guys are like Goebbels

Their butts filled with gerbils

Drumpf's poll numbers suck and they're slidin'!

His wife is a grim-faced ol' leecher

His sons? Coke fiends, dumb creatures

They're slimy and greedy

Don't know how to read-y

And cruelty.... THAT'S their main feature!

Like what you just read? Then subscribe to my Substack! Limericks, poems, haikus and song parodies!

And I'll subscribe back.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Haha, gerbils is prolly the only word that rhymes with Goebbels. Good find, Frosty!

HI2thDoc's avatar

Wrote this back in March after Robert Mueller passed away and Fatfuck gleefully gloated about it. What an absolute piece of shit he is.

No surprise that dipshit Donn said

He was glad Robert Mueller was dead

But when drumpf has his chance

The whole world will dance

And upon his grave they will tread

Nancy Potter's avatar

At some point in the don't-call-it-a-war, Iran managed to do major damage to the Naval support headquarters in Bahrain. Since Trump and Hegseth consider any suggestion by the press that Iran actually has missiles to be treason, this received little attention. Reports now are that with the Bahrain facility out, the normal resupply methods had to be reconfigured. Maybe now somebody will understand why a Navy can't run on "warfighters" alone, and needs some logistics people?

SethTriggs's avatar

This is exactly what happens when you are subject to narcissistic abusers. They lie like they breathe and they say lots of things, and cause you to doubt your own memory. Indeed this is one more function of the rightwing media human centipede, to impart their alternative, fantastic reality into our minds and make us doubt the things we experienced.

You know, like that time we all had to kitbash facemasks so we wouldn't die (at least those of us who cared).

Mary Greenwald's avatar

I blame Sean Duffy on Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin. She was so sure America needed Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary, she introduced him for confirmation! Of course, because Tammy is a Democrat and a "dear colleague" all (excepting Ossoff and Padilla) Democrats voted AYE for him. Joe Biden did not nominate this incompetent. He chose Pete. Good job by Joe and Pete.

I hope these Dems who thought that ANY of shtiforbrain's nominees were suited for their posts have learned. ALL the D senators voted for Rubio. How's that working out now? Dems should vote no on all MAGA nominees, FFS. None of them are competent and most if not all are as crooked as a corkscrew.

Joyce's avatar

The sad-ass part about Little Big Shoes is that he represented the slim thread of hope, in that he was the only marginally qualified nominee in the clown car, to those who voted for him. I guess they were trying to convince themselves that at least Little Big Shoes had always been virulently anti-Russia in all the years he did nothing else of use in Florida or DC. Of course, once Little Big Shoes was voted in, he immediately never knew there was even such a place as Russia..........

Mary Greenwald's avatar

That is another one of those "Dear Colleague" votes. Democrats like to say he wasn't like that in the Senate! I guess none of them knew him or what he stood for.

Leu2500's avatar

Doubt they've learned. Every GD one of the felon's nominees should have received 0 Democratic votes. Even Marco. Fvck norms. Fvck congeniality. Take a page from McConnell. RBG's body was barely cold & he was rushing Amy Comey Barrot's confirmation thru.

rlritt's avatar

I can understand their votes. In a normal world whether the President is a Democrat or Republican there are positions that must be filled. Every president usually appoints people in his party. It makes perfect sense to vote for the nominee since the position must be filled. I dont blame Drmocrats becauae they rightly assumed these cabinet officials would be normal and responsible public servants. They did not reckon on them becoming Trump puppets.

Mary Greenwald's avatar

One of the worst is Mark Kelly. Yet he sends Give-me letters (which started as soon as he took office) along with a bumper sticker advertising him and his plan to "Fight Like Hell" against Trump. He would not do it when he had the chance so we know he won't if elected to another 6 year term.

michellefromchicago's avatar

I put some “I did that!” stickers with a picture of a grinning Donald Trump on them on some gas pumps at the filling station near my office. I should go back and see if they’re still there…

US Blues's avatar

Faux “news” must be telling people all of the terrible things this regime is doing is Biden’s fault. It’s all so very stupid. I got into an argument with a jarhead dump voter for the first time in a long time the other day. These folks are blaming Biden for the high gas prices and when confronted with the real reason for sky high gas prices, the war in Iran, they think it’s all worth it to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Make it make sense. 😩

If all these people consume is Faux News, they really have no idea what is actually happening in this country.

I live in a part of Orange County NY with kind of a lot of Trump supporters. I've been sticking Trump "I did that" stickers on every gas pump I can every time I fill up my car. The stickers get ripped off by butthurt magats almost immediately. But hey keep on being butthurt babies, because my brothers and I have a loottttttt more stickers. :D
